A peaceful day, with ample refreshment stops along the way. A short, 1 km detour is recommended at Castromaior. There, old roman ruins dating back to the 4th century BC can be found. Another point of interest is at Vilar de Donas, a 14th century church with stone effigies of knights and unique frescoes with peculiar and somewhat haunting expressions.
